No joke the way he manipulates the ball is pretty special. He uses every bit of the ball and every part of his feet at his disposal. It’s a subtle thing but once you notice it, that quality pops out. He goes inside and out, cuts left or right, I’ve seen him initiate dribbles with the outside of his left foot FFS. Such a quick decision maker and defensive information processor as well. He really is a complete dribbler, he can go whichever way he wants.
Technical skills are off the charts. I’m unsure about his long term position but the raw materials are there for everything. I wanted to be pessimistic on this one but I think Lange has unearthed a gem here.
I wish he was 20% faster or stronger but he is young after all. Still the PL experience will be invaluable for him. There will be turnovers as he seasons himself but not due to lack of touch, more due to outsized ambition. I’d much prefer those turnovers than Son/Johnson type turnovers where they can’t control a simple pass and take huge heavy touches into nowhere. Not so with Odobert.
What’s his defensive stats like? Can he cover LB?

Probably not but I’ve always been a dumbass
Yeah mate. And in goal too.
I see we have some "I've never heard of him" so "I'm underwhelmed" contributers. This forum is nothing if not entertaining.
I blame Danny Rose
The only downside of this is I think his skillset kind of overlaps with Moore’s, who is our best prospect. Unsure how we’ll handle their minutes. Maybe move Mikey central long term?
Play them together. Moore LW, Odobert RW, Lankshear CF.
Yes, so the rest of us can avoid that place at all costs.Is it wise to be posting on here where you’re staying?
ShhhWhat's really out of the blue here is thatThe Absolute GOAT has enough money to travel to Tenerife. I would have lost that bet.
This is how Wales get him locked out of the country.
Most of this board had zero idea he was even alive until we signed him. That’s probably a good thing, we’re fans the people who run things are supposed to be far more informed than us.
We sign a lot of these young players and our hit rate is pretty low. But some of them do come off and we can only hope this lad is one of them.
Time will tell.
Solanke absolutely should improve our starting 11. I do agree that we should have been pitching for at least two, and ideally three that improved our starting 11
To be fair I still have no idea who N'Koudou is.

That's not a downside mate, cream always rises to the top and if those 2 players are pushing each other and improving then it's a good thing for us.
Didn't realise he existed, but can see now that he's a potential world beater.
